RECENTLY, SANJEEVAN RECEIVED THREE BULLETS IN HIS MAILBOX BUT DUTY IS DUTY, AND DUTY FOR HIM IS A PASSION!

R Sri Sanjeevan was shot on 23 July 2013, just over a year ago. There is no progress on the case. Police have closed the investigation into his attempted murder, classifying it ‘No Further Action’ (NFA), due to the lack of fresh leads.

One year on, Sanjeevan still rallies against crime

CYNTHIA GABRIEL, the founder of Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4), says,

‘Action on Sanjeevan shows WPA has failed’

Excerpts from the Malaysiakini article

COMMENT Whistleblowing is indeed a hazardous venture in Malaysia.

Government corruption has gained the wrath of citizens these last few years. With a rapidly changing political landscape, many have been goaded on to take the bull by its horns, putting fear on the back burner, by blowing the whistle on wrongdoing, misconduct and alleged corruption.

Protection is scant, government harassment aplenty, personal securities compromised and if past records are anything to go by, the messenger gets shot at, literally and in real time, the complaint gets swept under the rug, and the suspect roams free.

My Watch chief R Sri Sanjeevan can surely testify to this.
…

The Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) is deeply concerned that Sanjeevan will receive zero protection from the very laws designed to combat corruption, especially under the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA) 2010.

Despite the WPA having the goal of giving protection to the whistleblower in the form of confidentiality of their information, immunity from civil and criminal action and protection from detrimental action being taken against them, Sanjeevan can tell you that he has enjoyed none of these thus far.

…
C4 strongly recommends that the WPA is revisited and scrutinised again by lawmakers with the inputs from the Bar Council to ensure that public interest disclosure is protected at all times.

Court order issued to compel Sanjeevan to hand over evidence

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have issued a court order on anti-crime group MyWatch’s chairman R.Sanjeevan to compel him to hand over evidence of his damning allegations of power abuse and corruption in the police force.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said today, Sanjeevan has 14 days to respond to the summons issued under Section 51 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

On the one hand, the IGP refuses to meet Sanjeevan. On the other hand, Sanjeevan refuses to hand over the evidence to anyone but the IGP.

No proof, Sanjeevan out to smear cops, says IGP

Crime watchdog NGO MyWatch chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan is out to tarnish the good reputation of the police by making allegations of misconduct against police officers without furnishing proof, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said today.

Khalid repeated that Sanjeevan had refused to cooperate with the police when officers were sent to meet him, and this has forced the police to issue a notice against Sanjeevan so that he provides evidence to back up his claims.

“This guy is not sincere to make things better but he’s out to smear some individuals,” Khalid told a press conference at Bukit Aman.

“When I sent officers to meet him, he did not want to cooperate. Instead, he created a story that I was lying,” he added.

Khalid said if Sanjeevan does not want to provide the evidence to the police, he could hand it over to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) instead.

Sanjeevan believes that they are after tryingto cover up the accused cop’s alleged sex scandal and to expose his source of information.

Sanjeevan probed for cop sex scandal allegation

Anti-crime NGO MyWatch chief R Sanjeevan said he is being probed by the police over his allegation of a sex scandal involving an unnamed senior cop with a distinguished royal title.

In a statement today, Sanjeevan revealed that the inspector general police secretariat (disciplinary department) based in Bukit Aman in a letter on Tuesday also requested he should hand over all evidence on the allegation within 14 days to facilitate investigation.

The letter to Sanjeevansaid the matter is being investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA).

It referred in particular to MyWatch’s website where the sex scandal allegation first surfaced last month.

MyWatch: We’ve proof of top cop’s sex scandal

Whistleblower MyWatch claims that it has received a set of photographs and documents pertaining to a sexual scandal allegedly involving a top cop.

Its chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan said MyWatch is prepared to make the photographs and documents public.

However, he sought an assurance from the prime minister and home minister that action would be taken.

“MyWatch wants an assurance from Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak that they will immediately suspend the officer regardless of his position and title and will instruct for a thorough investigation into this matter.
…

If an assurance is given, Sanjeevan said, MyWatch would immediately reveal the evidence.

Hamza Taib: My son is not jobless and can afford cars

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib dismissed insinuations of wrongdoing after it was alleged his son owned two luxury vehicles which he should not have been able to afford as he was unemployed.

“How can anyone say he is jobless?” he said, adding that his son, Mohammad Azhan Hamza, 30, was a director in several companies and owned several firms in Kuala Lumpur.

He revealed that Mohammad Azhan read law at the International Islamic University, and his wife was also a qualified lawyer.

“They are living at my house in Kuala Lumpur so they don’t have to worry about house loans,” he added.

Hamza said to the best of his knowledge, the two luxury cars owned his son were reconditioned and did not cost as much as new ones.

He said this when asked about MyWatch chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan’s claim of Mohammad Azhan’s “extraordinary wealth.”

“@weehingthong: @Abotegg some like sanjeevan deserves to be heard; he almost died for his beliefs” Fighting corruption indeed high risk!

MyWatch: Top cop’s son jobless but rolling in cash

Malaysiakini

Nearly a year after being shot, crime watchdog MyWatch chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan today hit out again at alleged corruption in the police force.

The PKR member also questioned the extraordinary wealth of a 30-year-old son of a state police chief.

Sanjeevan claimed the unemployed man bought two luxury cars last year – a Jaguar and an Audi A5, with a combined value of RM1.1 million.

His bank accounts, Sanjeevan alleged, had transactions worth some RM500,000 in the last six months, up to April.

“He is the only son in the family. He is jobless, he has no genuine source of income, no passive income…

“The coincidence here is that he is linked to a firearms company. The firearms company is in the same state where his father is the police chief,” Sanjeevan told reporters at a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur.
…

Sanjeevan said that the police chief’s son was “the only Malay director” among 10 directors of a private limited arms company and received about RM100,000 a year in compensation for his position.

He got married last year.

His father has been the top cop of the state for some three years.

“Even if he worked 40 years in the force, his salary cannot afford all this,” Sanjeevan said, emphasising why the government needed to seriously look into this case.

Sanjeevan said that he would furbish all the details in a report to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) next week.

Three bullets found in Sanjeevan’s mailbox

KUALA LUMPUR: Three 9mm bullets were found in the mailbox of MyWatch chairman R. Sri Sanjeevan’s family home in Bahau, Saturday morning.

Sanjeevan, who is contesting for the PKR Youth vice-president’s post in the ongoing party elections, said his brother was getting the house ready to host a function for his campaign at night when he found the bullets at around 10.45am.

“I came back late from a election campaign function at around 4am.

“Before that, my whole family had gone out to celebrate my mother’s birthday, so there was no one at home.

“I am thinking of a natural death for MyWatch. As a patriotic Malaysian, I’ve done my part and have been beaten and shot at for it,” he told The Star in an interview yesterday at a location that he does not want to be disclosed.

MyWatch chairman Sanjeevan scarred by shooting

PETALING JAYA: R. Sri Sanjeevan is a pale shadow of his former self. He has lost 15kg, shaved his head and wears a brace on his chest, hiding horrific surgical scars – no thanks to his close brush with death when a motorcycle pillion rider fired a shot at him in Bahau in July.

And he’s also a beaten man.

According to the crime watchdog leader, he has been beaten up and threatened many times, but the shooting was the last straw.

Demoralised: Sanjeevan showing his scars during the interview and (inset) how he looked before the shooting.

The MyWatch chairman is leaving his advocacy days behind, saying that continuing his work was “not worth another bullet or his family’s safety”.

Sanjeevan: Police out to frame me

My informers are being coerced to give false statements against me, claims MyWatch chief who’s recuperating from a life-saving operation.

PETALING JAYA: MyWatch chief R Sri Sanjeevan today said police have arrested many of his informers and are coercing them to give false statements linking him to the underworld.

He named Bukit Aman, IPK Negeri Sembilan and IPD Jempol as those going all out to frame him.

According to Sanjeevan, who is recuperating from a life-saving operation following an assassination attempt on his life, said all his informants are known to Federal Narcotics director Norashid Ibrahim.

“I am very upset at the way the police are handling the situation as some of my informants have been arrested and charged for drug related and gangsterism offences,” claimed Sanjeevan.

He said that before the attempt on his life on July 2, he had revealed the names of rogue cops in Negeri Sembilan, some of whom he alleged received as much RM30,000 in bribes from drug syndicates.

“Why haven’t these police officers I named been investigated or arrested as I have given all the details to IGP Khalid Abu Bakar,” asked Sanjeevan.

“It appears that Khalid is only paying a lip-service and covering up for his men in blue,” added Sanjeevan.

Negri Sembilan police officers have returned to check on the status of MyWatch chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan’s recovery, even though the latter’s father had insisted the state’s police stop investigating the attempt on Sanjeevan’s life last month.

P Ramakrishnan told Malaysiakini today that he saw the officers a couple of days ago at the Serdang Hospital where Sanjeevan is warded, and claimed they have been making enquiries about Sanjeevan’s condition.

“They have been interviewing the doctors,” Ramakrishnan said.

He said that he is “very unhappy” about the state police’s meddling into Sanjeevan’s case again after he openly claimed that the Negri Sembilan police might have had a hand in the attempt on Sanjeevan’s (right) life.

“I have informed about their (Negri Sembilan police) presence to MyWatch advisor S Gobikrishnan and have asked him to communicate this matter to the police again,” he said.

The officers, Ramakrishnan further claimed, were the very same ones who had came to collect the bullet removed from Sanjeevan’s rib cage last week following surgery.

High drama amidst Sanjeevan’s surgery

SERDANG (Aug 15, 2013): There was high drama at the Serdang Hospital when four Negri Sembilan police officers turned up while MyWatch chairman R. Sri Sanjeevan (pix) was undergoing an operation, to demand that the bullet removed from his rib cage be handed over to them.
…“I met the hospital’s director and was told they are obliged to hand over any evidence to the Seremban police,” he added.He recounted how four police officers, two from Seremban and two from Jempul, entered the premises demanding the bullet be handed over to them.“I tried to stop them. I asked why was the case not handled by Bukit Aman,” he said.MyWatch adviser S. Gobi Krishnan, who was also at the hospital, said on the advice of former IGP and MyWatch patron Tan Sri Musa Hassan, Ramakrishnan lodged a police report on the incident at the hospital.Gobi said Hadi Ho told him over the phone later that he had instructed that the bullet be sent to the police forensic laboratory in Cheras for tests.

Hadi Ho had also assured Gobi that he would oversee the investigation and would be meeting Ramakrishnan and him next week on the progress of the investigation.

Removing bullet not priority for now: Subramaniam (updated)

PUTRAJAYA (Aug 1, 2013): Removing the bullet from the abdomen of Malaysian Crime Watch Task Force’s (MyWatch) R Sri Sanjeevan (pix) is not as critical as stabilising his condition from other complications as these are “more life-threatening”, Health Minister Datuk Seri S Subramaniam said.

“The bullet is not in a life-threatening position for him now.

“It is the other condition of his body that are life threatening for him at the moment,” he told theSun today, responding to the most asked question on why the delay in performing the surgery to remove the bullet from the crime watchdog chairman’s rib cage.

Subramaniam stressed that although the bullet is still in his rib cage, it is not causing harm to his body.

“It is sitting there without causing any damage. That is why the surgery can be done at a later stage.

“But what is more important now is that the doctors are trying to see his lung condition, his blood pressure and so on before proceeding with the surgery,” he said.

Sanjeevan’s statements may have led to his shooting

PETALING JAYA (July 31, 2013): Statements made by crime watch activist R. Sri Sanjeevan against organised crime may have led to his shooting.

Patron of non-governmental organisation (NGO) Malaysian Crime Watch Task Force (MyWatch) and former inspector-general of police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said that Sanjeevan had been vocal in exposing crime syndicates linked to the police.

“Maybe one of these underground gangs was disgruntled by his statement and sent out a hit on him,” Musa told theSun in a phone interview to
day.

However, he said he does not know if the police were linked to the shooting incident.

MyWatch recently gave details on the alleged involvement of Malacca and Negri Sembilan police officers in drug syndicates and later said that the police did not take action on the matter.

S Gobikrishnan, and adviser to anti-crime watchdog MyWatch, was quizzed by the police today for a series of tweets which he posted after the group’s chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan was shot.

Describing the session as a “waste of time”, Gobikrishnan told Malaysiakini that the police were mostly interested in the tweets, which were critical of police investigations about the shooting, but not the shooting itself.

“There was only one or two questions about Sanjeevan. The rest were about my tweets regarding the police,” he said.

“They wanted to know why I tweeted to criticise the police, and what made me say the things I said.”

The police took 90 minutes to record his statements at the Batu Caves police station.

“I think they should spend more time trying to find Sanjeevan’s shooter and get to the bottom of this as soon as possible,” he said.

FMT editor in chief K Kabilan said the FMT report was based on a question posed to Khalid after his press conference.

“We reported what he told our journalist. There is no reason for us to manufacture anything here.

“After the press conference, our journalist had approached Khalid, saying that he wanted to ask one final question. Our journalist had asked if hired killers were involved in the Sanjeevan shooting to which the IGP responded by saying what was reported.

“We just reported what Khalid told our journalist,” said Kabilan, adding that the IGP was entitled to d

‘I didn’t say Sanjeevan’s friends were involved’

Khalid Abu Bakar backpaddles on a statement he gave to FMT yesterday, where he said the MyWatch chairman’s friends had masterminded his shooting on Saturday.

PETALING JAYA: Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar dismissed a FMT report which quoted him as saying that MyWatch chairman R Sri Sanjeevan’s friends were behind an attempt to take his life on Saturday.

Khalid said that all he told reporters at a press conference yesterday was that the police are still investigating who was responsible for the attempt on the anti-crime NGO chief’s life.

“I told reporters during a press conference yesterday to give us time to complete our probe into the matter. That was all,” Khalid was reported saying in Malaysiakini.

After 24 hours in the Serdang Hospital, the condition of NGO MyWatch chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan, who was shot by assailants on Saturday, has improved, his father said today.

P Ramakrishnan told Malaysiakini that Sanjeevan’s condition had improved slightly compared to yesterday but remains unconscious and not fully stable.

However, doctors have said that he is not yet ready for a critical surgery to remove a bullet lodged in his ribcage.

“Doctors have said that they need to stabilise him further, and only when he is fully stable can the surgery be done,” Ramakrishnan said, adding that doctors have not given a definite time frame for the surgery to take place.

Why delay in removing bullet, asks MyWatch

MyWatch advisor and co-founder questions the Health Ministry for the lack of urgency in treating Sanjeevan.

PETALING JAYA: The advisor and co-founder of anti-crime watchdog MyWatch S Gobi Krishnan today urged the Health Ministry to explain the delay in having a bullet removed from the rib cage of the NGO’s chairman R Sri Sanjeevan who was shot on Saturday.

“Yesterday, I visited him at Tuanku Jaafar Hospital (HTJ), Seremban and I was shocked when Sanjeevan’s father told me that the doctors have yet to remove the bullet,” he told FMT.

“When I checked with the doctor, he said the hospital is planning to transfer Sanjeevan to the Serdang hospital because HTJ does not have a doctor who could perform the operation,” he added.

“When asked why they are still keeping him at HTJ since no doctor could perform the operation, the doctor told me that the hospital is short of ambulance and thus unable to transfer Sanjeevan to the Serdang hospital.

“The doctor also informed that the hospital management will not allow private ambulance to ferry him,” said Gobi.

He added that he was riled by the reply and decided to meet the hospital director.

While at the director’s office, Gobi claimed that he saw on the table a letter of approval signed by the director to transfer Sanjeevan from HTJ to Serdang Hospital.

“When I asked about the letter, they immediately said they will transfer Sanjeevan to the Serdang hospital,” he said.

He added that he was surprised that the hospital was able to, without delay, arrange everything including an ambulance to transfer Sanjeevan to the Serdang hospital.

Gobi also said that he was informed in Serdang Hospital that they were waiting for a specialist from Selayang Hospital to perform the surgery.

“Now, the question is why did HTJ (Seremban) transfer him to Serdang Hospital when there is no doctor who could perform the operation when he should be placed in Selayang Hospital?” he asked.

“Why wasn’t he transferred straight to Selayang Hospital or to the Putrajaya Hospital which is a government specialist hospital?” he asked.

MyWatch advisor: Assassination attempt on Sanjeevan was only “a matter of time”

PETALING JAYA: It was only a matter of time before an assassination attempt was carried out on anti-crime activist R. Sri Sanjeevan, said MyWatch advisor S. Gobi Krishnan.

According to him, this was because Sanjeevan, who is also MyWatch chief, had alleged police involvement with the criminal underworld.

On July 24, Sanjeevan had tweeted from his @SanjeevanSS account: “Seriously thinking to expose on a top leader of @PDRMsia where his son is under payroll of kingpins and some syndicates. Interesting piece!”.

“After he tweeted that, I called him immediately to ask why he revealed our next course of action. Sometimes, you must do things quietly until you have everything lined up and ready to expose, though the temptation is there to reveal it beforehand,” said Gobi when contacted by The Star Online.

The contents of a ‘leaked police memo’ purportedly shedding light on personnel linked to drug syndicates was to have been released this week by anti-crime activist R Sri Sanjeevan.

However, he was shot and injured on Saturday in Bahau, Negri Sembilan.

PKR strategy director Rafizi Ramli (left) said: “Sanjeevan said he had obtained an internal police memo which lists the (names of) police personnel being investigated (allegedly) for being involved in drug syndicates.”

Elaborating on his 20-minute meeting with the MyWatch chairperson last Friday, Rafizi said Sanjeevan had confided that the offences are very serious in that these carry the mandatory death sentence upon conviction.

“He said these involved a huge quantity of drugs and extensive trafficking … based on the seriousness of this, I agreed to meet him this week,” Rafizi told a press conference at the PKR headquarters.

“He also mentioned that it was an internal memo marked ‘sulit’ (confidential).”

However, he said Sanjeevan did not disclose the names of the personnel involved, describing it as “fortunate” that he had not done so.

Reval what happened to the reports lodged by Sanjeevan, police must launch full probe – Gobind

Written by Gobind Singh Deo

The DAP calls upon the IGP to ensure a full and thorough investigation into the shooting of MyWatch chief R Sri Sanjeevan.

Sanjeevan has in the past complained of threats to his life. He has also lodged police reports.

There is every possibility that Sanjeevan was shot due to his recent expose about police involvement in crime syndicates.

If this is true, then caution must be taken in dealing with the matter and a special team must be set up to investigate the matter. We must be sure that those assigned to this case are in no way connected to the complaints made by Sanjeevan in the past.

What happened to his previous reports

More importantly, the IGP should tell us what happened to the reports lodged by Sanjeevan prior to his shooting. Were there investigations and if so, what came out of it?

It is even more disheartening to read that Sanjeevan had complained hours before he was gunned down that he received news that “a cop had told some syndicate fellow that he would get them firearms” and planned shots to be fired at his house to scare him and his family.

The question is having been informed about the attempt on his life or harm upon him and his family and knowing that there were previous attempts on his life, did the police take any steps to protect him before he was shot?

This is to my mind a serious matter and one of immense public concern. If the government wants the public to assist the police in its fight against crime, if they want members of the public to participate in community policing and so forth, then it must convince the public, with the fullest of assurance, that it is safe to do so.

Set up task force to investigate shooting of crime watchdog chief, says DAP

BY Rita JongJuly 28, 2013Latest Update: July 28, 2013 07:48 pm

A special team must be set up to investigate the shooting incident of MyWatch chief R. Sri Sanjeevan and police personnel assigned to it should not be connected to his past complaints on the cops, said the DAP.

Its National Legal bureau chairman Gobind Singh Deo said this was necessary as there was a possibility that Sanjeevan was shot due to his recent expose about police involvement in crime syndicates. Sanjeevan had in the past complained of threats to his life and had also lodged police reports.

“If this is true, then caution must be taken in dealing with the matter and a special team must be set up to investigate the shooting,” he said in a statement today.

“We must be sure that those assigned to this case are in no way connected to the complaints made by Sanjeevan in the past.”

Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar has pledged a thorough investigation into the shooting of anti-crime NGO MyWatch chairperson R Sri Sanjeevan, including his claim that rogue cops were out to get him.

“I assure the family and public that our investigations will be thorough and will look into all aspect including those alleged by SS (Sri Sanjeevan) earlier,” Khalid said in a Twitter posting this morning.

In another tweet, Khalid also gave an assurance that Bukit Aman will monitor the investigations and the CID director will “personally supervise” investigations.

Allegations of errant cop involvement surfaced as Sanjeevan had foretold his fate in a tweet, just hours before he was shot.

Sanjeevan was shot at about 4.30pm in Jempol, Negri Sembilan. He was reported to be in stable but critical condition after undergoing surgery.

SHOT BY GUNMEN: Musa Hasan’s anti-crime chief in critical condition, time for tell-all

Written by Maria Begum, Malaysia Chronicle

It looks like the accusations by former police chief Musa Hassan and his anti-crime watchdog body that underworld syndicates had infiltrated the police force and that top politicians were interfering in police work have touched a sore spot.

R Sri Sanjeevan, the chairman of My Watch or The Malaysian Crime Watch Task Force, was shot at close range at 4.30pm yesterday at Taman Cempaka, Bahau.
…

Time to tell all

Musa, the former Inspector-General of Police who is the patron of MyWatch, had shocked the nation last year when he made public his allegations. During his time as the police chief, the scandal-tainted Musa too had been accused of being connected to underworld chiefs and protecting them from prosecution. He retired in 2009 and has tried to redeem his image by participating in several anti-crime crusades.

“This is terrible news and I hope that Musa Hassan will come out and reveal more of the truth. Don’t keep any more secrets. If they dare to go after Sanjeevan today, who will be next tomorrow?” PKR vice president Chua Jui Meng told Malaysia Chronicle.
…

Tip of the iceberg: Gambling, prostitution, money laundering

MyWatch had also claimed that it possessed evidence that top police officers were involved in criminal activities, including money laundering, gambling, prostitution and have direct links with underworld figures and kingpins.

Several recent cases including a robbery at a clinic where a Tan Sri had to whip out his gun and shoot dead one of the thieves have reignited public clamoring for tougher action against crime including the establishment of an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission.

IPCMC advocates believe its formation will to help curb out-of-control crime by cleaning up and making more effective the police force.

Suspicion was also reignited that the main objection to the IPCMC’s formation by Prime Minister Najib Razak’s government was a reluctance to upset the big-time underworld chiefs whose connections and network into the police force ran deep and wide due to decades of inaction by the government.

“I hope the police will do a thorough investigation to trace (the) suspect as he (Sanjeevan) had received several threats… (due to) his revelation on police involvement with activities of syndicated crime and illegal activities,” he said on Twitter late Saturday night.

Sanjeevan, himself, appeared to have foretold his fate in a tweet hours before he was gunned down.

He also appeared to have tried to alert current Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar on the imminent threat.

“A cop told some syndicate fellow that he’ll get them firearm(s) and told them to fire shots at my house to scare me or my family,” he said, in the tweet, which tags both Khalid’s and the official Royal Police Force’s Twitter handles.

According to the Star, Sanjeevan was gunned down at about 4.30pm today in Jempol, Negri Sembilan.
…

Shot in the chest

Astro Awani, meanwhile, reports that the 29-year-old was shot in a cold-blooded fashion by two motorcyclists while he was driving, at a junction near Taman Cempaka there.

MyWatch, or The Malaysian Crime Watch Task Force, rose to prominence after its patron, former Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan, made public several serious allegations in a few press conferences and interviews.

Anti-crime watchdog chief shot in Bahau, in critical condition

By Diyana IbrahimJuly 27, 2013Latest Update: July 28, 2013 12:00 am

Anti-crime watchdog MyWatch chief R. Sri Sanjeevan was shot this evening in Bahau and is listed to be in critical condition, police said today.

Sanjeevan was in his car, a silver-coloured BMW, with the window open while smoking a cigarette, when two men on a red LC motorcycle approached from the back at an intersection in Taman Awana Indah, Bahau.

Sanjeevan had earlier picked up a friend from the latter’s home in the housing estate.

The pillion rider drew out a weapon and shot at Sanjeevan, hitting him in the right rib. The gunman then alighted from the motorcycle but the victim sped off.

The suspects then fled the scene, heading towards Rompin while the victim drove on for 300m before his friend, B. Ramesh, took over the wheel and drove Sanjeevan to the Jempol Hospital.

Seremban police chief ACP Saiful Azly Kamaruddin said the friend could not identify the suspects.

In an interview earlier this year, Sanjeevan said he has been receiving death threats but claimed he was not rattled as it came with the job.

Death threat for MyWatch chief

PETALING JAYA: The chairman of anti-crime watchdog MyWatch allegedly received a death threat yesterday, but has brushed it off as something that comes with the territory.

R Sri Sanjeevan told FMT he received a call from a private number and a rough voice spoke to him, saying: “You bastard. You watch out. We are going to shoot you down tonight. You are stepping on too many toes.”

But Sanjeevan said he was not rattled by the threat. He said: “I just replied him ‘I would be at PJ Hilton tonight. You can come and look for me.’ But he just hung up.”

He said that such calls were not something new to him, having received at least two other similar calls a few years back when he had highlighted cases of police abusing suspects. He was then the public complaints bureau head of the NGO Astivaaram Foundation.

“So this was very much anticipated. Seems like it always happens to me whenever I talk about the police,” he said.
